"Anyway"
People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered
...love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
...do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
...be successful anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
...do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable
...be honest and frank anyway.
People love underdogs but follow only top dogs
...follow some underdog anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
...build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you try to help
...help people anyway.
If you give the world the best you have,
...but give the world the best you have
... ANYWAY.
A few other sayings that wander in and out of my brain:
"Good, better, best. Never let it rest ...
until the good is better, and the better's best."
"Don't mistake my kindness for weakness."
"I am not a shit magnet."
(Guess who made that one up?)
"Don't make somebody your priority
when they only make you their option."
"Create in me a clean heart, O' Lord
Renew a right spirit within me."
"As you wish!" and " "--true love is the greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT. Mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich; when the mutton is really lean."

What words..
That sweet woman was my hero. She set the bar for us flawed humans so very high.
Yes, quite profound. Not so easy to follow, of course. Patti, mine too. I should reread one of the books that I have about her again. Maybe it will help me?
What great quotes!
I am delighted that I detected this website , precisely the right info that I was looking for! .
All the sayings are wise & witty, Mother Theresa's are kind & Christ-like.I love the Princess Bride and can recite those lines from heart because my children & grandchildren so... I hope this weekend has been pleasant for you and yours.
If only we could all be a bit more like Mother Theresa. The world would most definitely be a kinder and gentler place.
Lovely post!
Take care Cathy and I hope your week is fabulous!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Mother Teresa was one very bright and special spirit. This world is so much dimmer without her.
I love these sayings. There is some excellent advice here. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful quotes, all of them. I particularly like "Don't make somebody your priority when they only make you their option." A hard one to follow sometimes.
It was kind of nice to round these up into one spot. Glad you guys like them too.
